Quickbooks Essentials - Billable Expense

Hello,

 

I've purchased some products a the request of my client, but I ended up paying for it on my personal credit card. I've entered this item as an expense that I will claim back from the company but this expense needs to be passed on to my client, and I am not sure how to record it. I'm not sure if these are billable expenses or reimbursable expenses.

 

I've seen some guides on adding Billable expenses in the account settings but I don't have those options available in QB Essentials. 

 

On the invoice to my client I've got to have a "Product/Service" on the expense line item which requires an Income account.

 

I want to make sure I'm passing on this expense to my client, not paying tax on it as business income. Does anyone have experience with recording these kinds of transactions?
